Marie was in labor for 24 hours & did absolutley wonderful! She started contracting around lunch time Saturday afternoon. By 2 they were pretty consistantly 10 minutes apart. Ellie & I decided to drive on to Nashville, she was already 3cm & 80% effaced. We arived @ 6 pm & her contractions were every 7-8 minutes. She was still home at this point sitting & talking with us. The contractions were getting closer & stronger but she was hanging in. Her dr told her to stay home until they were 5 min apart or she could not stand the pain or by 10pm... so at 10 pm we headed to Baptist. We got her checked into triage & they were coming every 3-6 minutes, but she had not made any change from the drs office. Long story short, they decided to admit her @ 3 am... long night! She got into her room, got an IV, still no pain meds & was 4cm. We took a little nap, Michael was by her side the whole time! During her nap she got to 6cm & the dr came to break water @ 8am. She was finally ready for her epidural! She quickly went from 7 to 8 to complete by 11 am & started pushing @ 11:40. Ryan was born within 50 minutes!!
